Local temperature fine-tunes the timing of spring migration in birds.
Evidence for climate-driven phenological changes is rapidly increasing at all trophic levels. Our current poor knowledge of the detailed control of bird migration from the level of genes and hormonal control to direct physiological and behavioral responses hampers our ability to understand and predict consequences of climatic change for migratory birds. In order to better understand migration p...
متن کاملSexual size dimorphism and timing of spring migration in birds.
Sexually selected traits are limited by selection against those traits in other fitness components, such as survival. Thus, sexual selection favouring large size in males should be balanced by higher mortality of larger males. However, evidence from red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) indicates that large males survive better than small males. A survival advantage to large size could re...
متن کاملTemperature and rainfall anomalies in Africa predict timing of spring migration in trans-Saharan migratory birds
The long-term advance in the timing of bird spring migration in the Northern Hemisphere is associated with global climate change. The extent to which changes in bird phenology reflect responses to weather conditions in the wintering or breeding areas, or during migration, however, remains to be elucidated. We analyse the relationships between the timing of spring migration of 9 species of trans...
متن کاملTiming of spring migration in birds: long-term trends, North Atlantic Oscillation and the significance of different migration routes
We studied long-term trends and the yearly variation in mean spring passage time in 36 passerine bird species trapped at Ottenby Bird Observatory in south-eastern Sweden. Between the years 1952 /2002, data were available for 22 /45 years depending on species. Most long-distance migrant species passed progressively earlier over the study period (range: 2.5 days earlier to 0.7 days later per 10 y...
متن کاملMetabolism Fine-tunes Macrophage Activation
C ells continually monitor the availability of nutrients and alter their activities and metabolism accordingly. Immune cells are no exception (O’Neill and Pearce, 2015). Macrophages are important immune cells that perform many roles – they are, for example, involved in development and wound repair – but they need to be activated before they can carry out their functions. For years it was though...
